The most beloved princess in the prosperous world

Chapter 215 Chaos in the capital city

As Concubine Qi's voice fell, a figure stepped out from behind the screen, and this person was Leng Ya.

Leng Ya came out from behind the screen, a few steps away from Concubine Qi, when he saw Concubine Qi, he had a very respectful expression on his face, "I have seen the saint."

Leng Ya made a big gift to Concubine Qi.

Concubine Qi nodded slightly, and after looking at Leng Ya for a long time, she sighed softly, "I haven't seen you for many years, Mr. Leng has worked hard all these years."

"Don't dare." Leng Ya hurriedly said, "Assisting the prince is the old man's job, and it is the Gao Che clan's big job."

Hearing this, Concubine Qi's expression became more relaxed, and she nodded with satisfaction. At this moment, there was a hint of arrogance on her body, and after she turned around and sat down on the chair beside her, she said to Leng Ya, "Chu How is the king now?"

Leng Ya stood up not far from Concubine Qi, and said, "Saint, don't worry, King Chu is fine, the Gu worms have taken effect on the prince, and no one will notice it. Recently, the prince is safe in the mansion."

Only then did Concubine Qi exhale softly, and the faint sense of suddenness that rose in her eyes was also blown away because of this breath, leaving nothing behind.

Concubine Qi then said, "With Mr. Leng here, I am relieved that the King of Chu is outside. Although His Majesty is doing nothing, let alone making any moves, I am in the palace, which is actually equivalent to being under house arrest. , Behavior and affairs are also restricted everywhere, even meeting Mr. Leng tonight, I spent a lot of thought, I am afraid that Mr. Leng will not be able to stay longer, so, please tell me how the relationship develops, Mr. Leng as soon as possible."

Concubine Qi said so, so Leng Ya would not delay, and immediately reported the matter to Concubine Qi, "Although His Majesty has not taken any action, it has been obvious to all that the city has been heavily guarded recently. , since the last time King Jin killed our clansman in Taiping Lake, he pulled out many hidden stakes... Now, both factions in the clan are seriously injured, and the city is now guarded. contact."

After hearing these words, Concubine Qi chuckled, "Break off our internal and external connections? Oh, it is said that King Jin is the most intelligent man in the world, but unfortunately, after all, we don't know much about the abilities of our Gaoche tribe. If the connection between them is only relying on human words, I'm afraid it won't last until today."

Leng Ya smiled and said, "Saint is wise."

Concubine Qi shook her head, "I originally wanted to wait until the emperor's son had grown up and gained more power, and directly took over the throne of Kingdom Chen, so as to avoid so much bloodshed, but it's a pity...it didn't work out. You trash..." At this point, Concubine Qi paused for a moment, her expression becoming more unhappy, "These trash, don't trust the emperor's son of this palace, now that the Kingdom of Chen is not yet settled, I can't wait, hurry up The emperor of this palace wants to carve up the land of Chen Kingdom as soon as possible, and he doesn't even look at what the Central Plains is like now, and whether they can easily set foot in the rich and prosperous south of the Yangtze River!"

Leng Ya frowned slightly, "Holy maiden calm down... the elders of the clan, they just couldn't wait."

Concubine Qi snorted coldly, "A person who is about to step into the coffin with one foot, why can't he wait?"

Hearing this, Leng Ya remained silent.

Concubine Qi said, "Mr. Gongyang has entered the Central Plains during this time?"

"Since Taiping Lake was killed, and many hidden stakes were pulled out by King Jin, Mr. Gongyang has rushed to the Central Plains for the first time, and now he is in charge of the overall situation in Yongjia City. The changes of the elders in the clan have been restrained by Mr. Gongyang. Please be at ease, Holy Maiden."

Concubine Qi nodded, "Mr. Gongyang is back, so I can rest assured. In terms of using Gu skills, even I can't compare with Mr. Gongyang..." Although she said so, Concubine Qi His tone was not completely relieved, he paused and said, "Mr. Gongyang, you should watch more."

Leng Ya understood the truth, and nodded her head when she heard the words.

Concubine Qi said, "This time, even if I feel that the time has not come, I have no choice but to act. Your Majesty has already noticed... I can't wait any longer. Now that Your Majesty stands still, I can't guess the holy will, but I definitely can't." Sit and wait."

Leng Ya said, "Everything is ready, just waiting for the good news from the empress in the palace."

Concubine Qi narrowed her eyes slightly, "How about King Su?"

Leng Ya slightly pursed his lips and said, "Today, the old man has given the prince's military talisman to King Su. At ten o'clock in the evening, King Su has already taken the military talisman to the outside of the city. There are 25 soldiers and horses outside the city. They belong to the prince, and half of them are from our own clan, so you can rest assured."

"The people of Huang'er, the Palace is naturally at ease. Now, the affairs of Huang'er are left to Mr. Leng."

Leng Ya respectfully agreed, but after a pause, he still said, "It's just King Su..."

Concubine Qi chuckled, "King Su... When I brought these two brothers back to Yonghe Palace for adoption, it was for today and to find a shield with enough weight for the emperor. Mr. Leng used it with confidence." Bar."

"The old man understands." Leng Ya smiled.

"It's not too late now, Mister Leng should go out first." Concubine Qi sighed softly.

Leng Ya did not leave immediately, but pursed her lips, "Your Majesty, do you know why Your Majesty suddenly suspects Your Majesty?"

Concubine Qi laughed, "In this palace, without King Xuan, only this palace is left, not to mention, last time... the few trash in the clan who wanted to force this palace to take action must have leaked some information Otherwise, His Majesty would not have doubted Bengong in such a short time, but unfortunately... His Majesty is only suspicious now, without enough evidence, he can't do anything in front of Bengong, not to mention, Bengong is in this deep place. Having stayed in the palace for more than 20 years, it is impossible for His Majesty not to suspect that I did not pave the way for myself in advance, and would not rashly treat me."

Leng Ya said, "Even so, I'm afraid things won't be that simple. Although King Jin is injured, and King Su confirmed the news today, but in my heart, I always feel that there are some uncertainties. place."

Concubine Qi said, "Mr. Leng is a cautious person, and King Jin is not an ordinary person. Especially at such a time, it is natural that more consideration is needed, but... the matter was arranged by Mr. Gongyang. To be honest, although this Palace I don't really believe in Mr. Gongyang's firm intentions regarding major events in the clan, but I have no doubts about Mr. Gongyang's ability to control Gu."

Hearing what Concubine Qi said, Mr. Gongyang could only purse his lips and said, "I understand."

Concubine Qi nodded, and then Mr. Gongyang cupped his hands and said, "I will take my leave first."

Concubine Qi nodded, Leng Ya was just like when she came, I went behind the screen, only heard a slight voice, only Concubine Qi was left in the main hall.

Concubine Qi was sitting on the couch, the tea on the tea table was already completely cold, but she still sat there, motionless.

After a long time, she sighed lightly, and with a wave of her palm, she saw a pair of small things that looked like golden silkworms flying out of her sleeves, but were actually not even the size of mung beans. , this pair of little things doesn't look any different, but when they gradually fly to a dark place, they can faintly see a faint golden color, which is not eye-catching, but it will not be ignored .

They moved extremely fast, they flew out of Concubine Qi's sleeves, and then flew out of the Lama Temple through the window in an instant.

Concubine Qi rubbed the corners of her forehead, a faint look of exhaustion appeared in the corners of her eyes, and the nanny also came in from outside the hall at this time, "Your Majesty."

Concubine Qi hummed softly, "Help me to lie down on the couch."

Nanny hurried over, and Concubine Qi walked away without saying a word, being helped by mommy to the couch.

Yu Wujue is now active in Yongjia City as Yu Wuhen. Although it is well known that Yu Wuhen has been following Yu Wujue and respecting Yu Wujue, for many people, Yu Wuhen even He is a prince, and he has no official position, and he doesn't even care about political affairs. In the past, he didn't even go to the court very much. Only when Emperor Yuanchang ordered or Yu Wuhen asked for something, he would appear in the court. He is not like Yu Wufan who has connections with various ministries in the court, and now because of the connection between the business development of Chen Kingdom and the Ministry of Households that cannot be ignored, Yu Wuhen has always been a A person whose existence is known but not paid special attention to.

Therefore, even when Yu Wujue was active in Yongjia City and even appeared in the court hall with Yu Wuhen's identity, people would not feel too much surprise.

What's more, it seems that he doesn't know how to do anything, he just runs to the Prince Jin's mansion when he has nothing to do all day long, which is in line with his style.

Everyone would not notice him, but it's not like Yu Wujue didn't do nothing these days.

In the imperial study room, Yu Wujue was still meeting Emperor Yuanchang with Yu Wuhen's face. This was the second time in the past few days that Yu Wujue had seen Emperor Yuanchang with this face, but It didn't feel awkward either.

Emperor Yuanchang looked at him, and seeing that although he looked like Yu Wuhen, his gestures in front of him were all his own habits, so he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

Yu Wujue raised his eyes to look at Emperor Yuanchang, but didn't say anything.

Emperor Yuanchang said, "How is the situation these few days?"

Yu Wujue said, "Yesterday Lao Qi went out of the city for a trip, but only a few hours back and forth. However, I have received news that the family members of several generals of Tuyunying have temporarily left the city this morning."

Emperor Yuanchang raised his eyebrows, "Leaving the city, heh, for a general, he has no confidence in what he is about to do, and he clearly has 25 troops in his hands, including King Yi and the Tianxuan Army , with my imperial city guards and forbidden army, if I fight hard, I might be the one who miscalculated."

Yu Wujue said, "Just in case, there's nothing wrong with it. If the Second Emperor was awake, these people would naturally not be as unconfident as they are now, but if the Second Emperor is not awake, they are naturally not fully sure , It’s understandable to plan ahead.”

"You can see it!" Emperor Yuanchang snorted coldly.

Yu Wujue pursed his lips slightly, "Tuyunying is a group of soldiers and horses who have been with the second brother for the longest time, and several chief generals also followed the second brother to kill all the way to make meritorious deeds and get rewards from the father. This kind of action is probably because Lao Qi made a fuss about the injury of the second emperor brother, which aroused their resistance, let alone..."

Yu Wujue paused, took out a thin piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Emperor Yuanchang, "The backgrounds of the generals of Tuyunying, during this period of time, I have been checked by someone, but I found out Even if there is no article written by Lao Qi, this Tu Yunying may have become the supporter of the second brother before the second brother found out."

Emperor Yuanchang took it over to have a look, and saw that on the thin paper, it was written the backgrounds of several generals of the Tuyun camp today. Since these people appeared in the army, they have been tracking them down, and they have discovered There are many close connections, and the final result all point these people in the same direction - the Gaoche family.

Emperor Yuanchang put the paper back on the table with a "snap", "Okay, this is very good!"

Yu Wujue didn't take it seriously, the smile on the corner of his lips was mixed with a hint of sarcasm.

There were quite a few members of the Gaoche clan in the court, and Emperor Yuanchang already knew in his heart that although he was angry at the moment, it was not unstoppable, so he said coldly, "I want to see how many people are there. For so many years, she has not revealed anything in my eyes!"

*
Yu Wuyang didn't go in and out of the city frequently, but after going out of the city frequently in the first two days, she also stayed in Yongjia City, in her mansion in the next few days.

But in Prince Jin's mansion, the news that King Jin has awakened has never been sent out, and it has even been reported outside that Prince Jin is terminally ill and there is no cure.

In the Prince Chu's mansion, Yu Wujing was still unconscious, and Lin Wanri took care of her with all his heart, his eyes were full of worry, and he lost a lot of weight.

At the same time, the situation in Yongjia City gradually changed from the strict security at the beginning to become obvious, showing a sense of uneasiness that the common people have already noticed.

In the 27th year of Emperor Yuanchang of the Chen Kingdom, at the beginning of June, it was already midsummer. One day late at night, in an official mansion in the west of Yongjia City, a minister of the court died in the mansion for no reason. On the second day, the servants of the mansion found out At that time, I saw the body of the minister was covered by termites, and his face was bitten beyond recognition, which was extremely terrifying.

However, before the Jingzhao Yamen and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs can investigate the matter, after this inexplicable incident in the west of Yongjia City, the strong sons of several families in the north of the city, for some reason, also changed overnight from healthy to healthy. The man turned into a puppet without self-awareness at all, as if being controlled by someone, which scared the people in the north of the city to panic.

Accidents happened one after another in the west of the city, and the things were extremely weird, causing panic in Yongjia City, and the people were extremely uneasy, and some young students who had been silent before suddenly appeared inexplicably and opened up their speeches in the city, exaggerating the things in the west and north of the city in words, incite unrest among the people.

And it seems that overnight, about the abnormal situation in Yongjia City, it was spread out from nowhere, and it was blatantly related to the Gaoche clan, and the matter about Gu insects was also exaggerated, causing The panic among the people is even greater.

However, there are still some young students trying to reverse the situation and change the attitude of the people at this time, hoping to reduce panic.

Therefore, in such a situation, the chaos in the city can be imagined.

In the 27th year of Emperor Yuanchang, on the fifth day of June, when Emperor Yuanchang heard his courtiers talking about the situation in Yongjia City in the early court, he suddenly fainted. The matter of Gu worms was quickly associated with Emperor Yuanchang, but as soon as a certain imperial physician raised the matter, this person was dragged away by the chief eunuch An Cheng, and the matter was suppressed.

However, even so, the news that the Gu insects affected the emperor still spread like wildfire.

There was panic in the city and in the court.

On the sixth day of June, Princess Jin, who had been out of the palace for many days, finally went out to the palace alone to meet the unconscious Emperor Yuanchang. After Princess Jin left the palace gate, Emperor Yuanchang woke up within two hours. But people are still extremely weak.

After Emperor Yuanchang woke up, the first imperial decree he issued was to guard the imperial city tightly and use the imperial city guards to hunt down the Gaoche clan in the city.

Almost at night on the same day, dozens of households in the city were taken away by the imperial city guards.

But this is not the end.

On the seventh day of June, in Yongjia City, when people were still panicking, the sun had just set, and a layer of warm golden light appeared above the bluestone road in the city. .

And in the middle of the night, outside Yongjia City, 25 soldiers and horses from the Tuyun Camp pulled out one after another. Under the leadership of the ten generals of the Tuyun Camp, the black soldiers came straight to Yongjia City.

The army quickly moved towards the four gates of Yongjia.

When the guards of Yongjia City found out, the 25 army had already approached Yongjia with the momentum of encirclement.

"Who is coming?" In the south of Yongjia City, the soldiers guarding the city gate looked at the people who were moving freely in the dark night, and there was a crowd of people who didn't know how many people and forces they had. They panicked and asked loudly while reporting the news.

In the darkness, there are no torches to illuminate, only the torches at the city gate illuminate the scene in front of you, and you can see the tall horses in front of you, and the people on horseback are armored and sharpened, as if they are in a state of facing the enemy.

In the light of the flickering lights of the city gate, Yan Zhao, the head of the ten generals of Tuyunying, said loudly, "Tuyunying, because of the crisis of the Gaoche tribe in Yongjia City, your Majesty is in danger, and we are ordered to enter the city to escort you."

"Is there an imperial decree from His Majesty." The soldiers guarding the city vaguely felt that something big was about to happen, their legs were already trembling, but they still asked loudly.

Yan Zhao seemed to laugh in the dark night, the laughter was clear, and it was heard by the soldiers guarding the city gate in the early summer wind, "Imperial decree, of course there is..."

But just as Yan Zhao's voice fell, there was a puff, and a sharp arrow shot from behind him into the chest of the questioning soldier on the city gate.

The soldier opened his eyes wide, and only had time to weakly shout, "Quick... hurry up, please Your Majesty..."

However, his voice was immediately silenced by Yan Zhao's voice, "Kill!"

Then countless arrow feathers flew from behind Yan Zhao to the city gate...
